Truly cerulean sky ( with jet vapor trails ) above deep blue water ( 'n Spencer in his red kayak )

Having stepped back a bit, we now step up — aerial photo of Bass Harbor taken in 2002

Kayakin' Spencer about 1 and a half miles outside of Bass Harbor
( the GPS unit read 44º 12' 935" as best we can remember )

Happy Hep a-"Hummer"-in away about 1 and 1/2 miles outside of Bass Harbor

Bass Harbor scene with wharf 'n shanty

A baby loon in Bass Harbor . . .

. . . starts to dive as a red kayak approaches.  It'll travel about 15-20 feet before re-surfacing,
and you'll get an idea of where it will come up if you just follow the air bubbles.  By the way,
Uncle Bob inadvertently did something similar while trying to get out of the same red kayak!

Spencer found a starfish.  Put it awhn the dawhk.  I took a pickcha.  He put it back in the watuh.

Our campsite at Quietside Campground — what a great place to be —

— just ask Schoodic, the camp cat ( "Where's the bacon you guys made for breakfast?" )

Chicken 'n rooster cautiously inspect the fireplace for leftovers,
but cluckedly declined our invitation to stay for dinner tonight.

Bear Island Lighthouse ( right outside of Northeast Harbor )

Bear Island Lighthouse ( from the passenger seat of a Cessna Skyhawk in 2002 )

The "Margaret Todd," a 151 foot schooner, plies the blue waters outside of Bar Harbor

Hummer on the shore of Bar Island

Barnacles await the tide's return

Hep preps for an icy plunge off Bar Island ( he became a blue "Bobber" )

A couple of baby starfish ( with a baby snail below them ) cling to the rock . . .

. . . while an older sibling (?), moves off the flip side, thinkin', "Happy place, happy place . . ."

Cadillac Mountain looms over Bar Island ( foreground ) and Bar Harbor ( near background )

Classic 37" Maine wooden lobster trap ( according to the tags, it was used 1996-2001 ) topped with
an equally classic wooden lobster buoy.  The thing is ingenious: efficient in design & well-crafted.
The half-barrel wood construct is fitted with knotted cord netting, 5 flat rock slabs ( which weigh it
down to the ocean floor ), a three-hole black plastic escape vent ( for undersize lobsters and other
creatures ) and rope. Everything's held together with nails, knots and 3 rubber hinges on the door.
